TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: n. I n 'a Be it known that I, Luci-:LorKIBKUP, of Brooklyn, Kings county, New Yoskhaveiinveuted, made, and Iapplied to use, certain new and useful improvements in the Constructionof Anvils; and I do declare the fol lowing to be a full, clear, andcorrectr description of the same, reference bein making part of lthisapecication, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, in whicls-Figure l is a sideelevation of my improvedanvil. Figure 2, a top view ofthe same. 'I v f In the drawings, like parts of lthe invention areindicated by-the same lettcizs The nature of my invention consists inconstructing an anvil as hereinaft invention is to produce au anvil moredurable than the anvil now in use, and

manufactured.

To enable those skilled in the arts to make and use my invention, I willdescribe the same, l A shows the upper'section'of an anvil, and B thelower section of the same; which sections .A and B may be firmly unitedby the bolts or keys C C, or in any convenient manner. The uppersection, A, of the lfu'vil,4 is made of cast steel, iu one piece, or ofsteel without any welding, instead of welding the ears and otherparta lseparately on to the core, as in the ordinary mode of manufacture. i,The upper surface or face' nf this upper f` section is made larger inarea, but smaller in depth, making the same less weighty and moreportable, and,V when placed upon the lower section or block B, affordingthe snmearea of top as au anvil made in the ordinary w'ay, but weighingtwice as much. 4The lower section or block, B, may bel made of cant ironor any suitable metal," having the ends of its upper surface inclinedslightly to receive the upper section o. castfsteel portion, ,ttingsnugly upon the same.4 C C show bolts or keys passing through thesection B and the section A, to retain the same in position upon thesection B. I 'l v 4 The great advantage arising from the constructionot' an anvil as described, is that the upper section upon t 4.o whichthe work is done is or may beamade of solid steel, while the lower'portion may be made of Inch clreap"" v material as to make the perfectanvil no more expensive than those ordinarily used, but very much mored'urslfilc.,-

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as newand desire tosecure by Letters Patent, ia` The anvil constructed substantially asshown for thcpurposea apecied.
